Star Wars creator George Lucas says 3D film-making will eventually
take over at the cinema in the way colour replaced black and white.

Lucas and fellow technology pioneers James Cameron, the maker of
Avatar, and DreamWorks Animation boss Jeffrey Katzenberg pointed out
that digital film-making was only in its infancy but would bring vast
improvements to how movies were made and seen.

Digital technology in general was revolutionising film-making the
way sound did in the 1920s, Lucas said. The new digital 3D craze had
hits and misses, but should one day become the big-screen standard over
2D presentation, he added.
“So now when you’re watching a movie and it’s not in 3D, it’s like
watching in black and white,” he told cinema owners at their CinemaCon
convention in Las Vegas.
“It’s a better way of looking at a film. ... I totally believe now that 3D will completely take over just like colour did.”

Lucas spoke at a digital-film panel alongside Cameron and
Katzenberg. The hour-long discussion touched on new film-making tools,
enhancements to cinema sound, and how badly presented 3D movies can sour
audiences on digital 3D films in general.

Such bad 3D experiences have generally resulted when studios took
films shot in only two dimensions and made hasty conversions to give
them the illusion of depth so they could charge the extra few dollars
that 3D tickets cost.

“You disappoint our audiences once, OK, great, we fooled them. Do it
twice, shame on us,” said Katzenberg, who decided years ago that all
DreamWorks Animation films such as last year’s How To Train Your Dragon
and this summer’s Kung Fu Panda 2, would be in 3D.

Cameron, who shot Avatar in 3D and plans to make its two sequels
that way, is converting his blockbuster Titanic to 3D for release next
year. Lucas is doing the same with all six of his Star Wars films.
Done properly, 2D movies converted to 3D can look fantastic, Cameron and Lucas said.
Lucas drew hearty applause several times from cinema bosses when he
told them that home systems or portable video devices wouldl never
replace the moviehouse as the best place to see films.

“We have our third generation now of kids who are under 12 years old
who have never seen Star Wars on the big screen,” Lucas said. “And I am
betting a lot of people will go see a movie that they have seen on
television a million times and they have the video at home, and they
will go and see it because they want to see it in the theatre in a
social experience.”

Cameron waited for years to make Avatar until digital technology had
caught up to the ideas in his head for the sci-fi epic about a struggle
between greedy humans and noble aliens on a distant world.
Now that the tools are there, film-makers are confined only by their imaginations, Cameron said.
“We’re really at a point where if we can imagine it, we can create it,” Cameron said. “There are no limitations now.”

February 28, 2011 — Star WarsTM: In Concert, the unique multi-media
event featuring music from all six of John Williams’ epic Star Wars
scores, returns to North America on June 3 & 4 at the Hollywood
Bowl.

The production features a full symphony orchestra and choir, accompanied
by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a
three-story-tall, HD LED super-screen. The live music and film
elements are synchronized, creating a full multi-media, one-of-kind Star
Wars experience.

“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the
images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how
the music played into the images,” said George Lucas, creator of the
Star Wars Saga. “The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’
creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional
aspects of the films.”

“Creating the music for the Star Wars films has been an exciting and
wonderful experience for me, and I therefore have derived particular
pleasure in assembling a compendium of themes from all of the films to
be presented in Star Wars in Concert,” said Williams. “The editors at
Lucasfilm have created original film montages to accompany each of the
musical selections, and in the process, I believe that a singular and
unique Star Wars experience has been born.”

“This event has been crafted to present Star Wars from many points of
view; for the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams’ iconic
scores can be heard performed live in one evening,” said Another Planet
Touring Producer Spencer Churchill. “The show is a new way of
experiencing the epic scope of the saga.”

Timothy Mangan said in the Orange County Register, “ Star Wars: In
Concert’ is more a multi-media, sensory overload extravaganza, than a
mere concert > the crowd was stoked from the get-go. Host Anthony
Daniels had the crowd in the palm of his hand.” “Dazzling!” said Scott
Iwasaki in the Salt Lake City Deseret News. “It gives the audience a new
way of experiencing the story, bringing cheers and a standing ovation
from the audience.”

David Burger in the Salt Lake City Tribune said, “The biggest revelation
was John Williams’ still stirring, romantically inspired, emotionally
satisfying, compelling and exciting score --- one simple story, well
told, elevated by the dynamic symphonic music that revolutionized the
way films are scored.” John Timpane in the Philadelphia Inquirer said,
“> a
90-minute laser streaked, crashing-cymbals, living color extravaganza,
made and approved by its originators.”

Star Wars: In Concert is produced by Another Planet Touring in
association with Lucasfilm Ltd. The production is directed and designed
by Steve Cohen. Star Wars in Concert had its world premiere at the
02 Arena in London on April 10 and 11, 2009.

Lewis Hamilton is lending his voice to a brand new car in the upcoming Disney Pixar film Cars 2!

Lewis
Hamilton, the famously sleek and seriously fast #2 Grand Touring Sports
champion, has been a determined and winning racer for nearly his entire
young life. Like all youngster cars, Lewis spent his childhood going to
school, taking karate lessons and winning the British Karting
Championship by the age of 10. Today, the celebrated native Brit
continues to bring an exceptional work ethic and soft-spoken confidence
to the race course where his extraordinary achievements speak for
themselves via a spotless track record on the junior and professional
circuits. With his striking metallic black and yellow paint scheme,
Lewis will represent Great Britain at the World Grand Prix. His car also
carries the flag of Grenada, home to his family who emigrated to
Britain in the 1950s. His unrivaled technical skills, natural speed
ability and cool, karate-inspired attitude make him a powerful contender
too.

TNT unleashed a new trailer of "Falling Skies". One of the most ambitious TV projects done by Steven Spielberg, the series follows a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. Noah Wyle stars as a college professor and father of two who leads the group.

George Lucas has announced his satisfaction with the efforts to date to convert The Phantom Menace to 3D.
The job of adding an extra dimension to Jar Jar Binks has been handed to Prime Focus, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The firm previously used its "proprietary View-D 2D-to-3D process" on Clash of the Titans

He said in a statement: "It was
incredibly important to me that we have the technology, the resources
and the time to do this right. I'm very happy with the results I've been
seeing on Episode I."

Industrial Light & Magic's visual effects supervisor, John Knoll,
will be keeping an eye on things. He said: "Getting really good results
from stereo conversion requires a lot of attention to detail, and it is
imperative that you take the time to get it right – and that's just
what we're doing

"We're taking a different approach than you might expect. George's
vision has been to add dimension to the film in subtle ways. This isn't a
novelty conversion, with things jumping out at the audience; our goal
has been to enhance the classic Star Wars theatrical experience, utilizing the latest cinematic tools and techniques."The Phantom Menace in 3D is due to hit cinema screens on 10 February next year

Vertigore Games' Josh Shabtai has said that Falcon Gunner, the augmented
reality iOS title which his studio developed for THQ, is to be pulled
from the App Store as a result of the end of a licensing agreement
between THQ and Lucasfilm.

Falcon Gunner will be pulled from iTunes after March 31, according to Josh Shabtai, the game’s creative director who runs a small development studio called Vertigore. Shabatai says the game is getting delisted because publisher THQ Wireless lost their deal with the Star Wars licensing people. In a blog post, he praises them and Apple for their support, hypes his new games and mixes sadness with the recognition that his game fulfilled a 27-year-old dream: “We had a good run. We got to make a friggin’ Star Wars game!”

The latest exhibition by Pixar Animation Studios
opened Sunday at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum on the first stop of its
new global tour.
The exhibition "Pixar: 25 Years of Animation" building on the success
of its last international tour, offers the most comprehensive review of
Pixar's work to date.
The exhibition features more than 400 pieces/sets of artifacts, some
of which have never been seen outside of the studio's archives
previously, including traditional artwork in various mediums, maquettes,
early animated short films, and one-of-a-kind media installations
created by Pixar Technical Artists, as well as artwork from Cars 2,
which has yet even been released.
The exhibition illustrates the three key elements that make an
animated film. These are "character", which moves the story forward and
gives the viewer something or someone to identify with; "story", which
starts with a concept and scripts, then visually represents the film
with storyboards; and "world", which depicts the special environments
for each film envisioned by the Pixar artists.
The studio, which was set up in 1986 and has many blockbuster
animation movies including Toy Story and Finding Nemo under its belt,
hopes the months-long exhibition could offer visitors an artistic
insight into the studio's hugely successful and most beloved films.
The exhibition is scheduled to last until July 11.

Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) famous for creating special effects for
the Star Wars movies and many others developed a virtual camera which
helped the creation of its first animation Rango.

With it’s release on DVD this month Skyline may
not be joining any best of sci-fi list any time soon. It does however
become one in a long line of films that has used a 60 year old
collection of sound effects commonly known as the Wilhelm Scream. What
started as a simple recording in a sound studio, became a sound editor
in-joke then finally a full-on cult for film buffs worldwide. You may
not be familiar with it but you’ve most definitely heard it at least
once, if not more.

In 1951, an actor stepped into a
recording studio and was asked to make the sound of a man being attacked
by an alligator for the Raoul Walsh Western Distant Drums. 6
screams were recorded with the 5th scream being used for the alligator
attack. The 4th - 6th screams were also used earlier in the movie,
when three Native Americans are shot during a raid on a fort. They were
then stored in the Warner Brothers sound effects library. 2 years later
scream No 4. was used in the film The Charge at Feather River where
a character called Private Wilhelm was shot in the leg with an arrow.
Over the years the sounds were used for many Warner Bros pictures
including Them!, A Star is Born and The Green Berets.

In 1977 Ben Burtt was hired to supply sound effects for Star Wars. Carrying out research around various movie studios’ sound departments he came across the original Distant Drums recording
(which he found as a studio reel labeled “Man being eaten by
alligator”) and decided to name it ‘Wilhelm’ after the character in The Charge at Feather River. Having already been familiar with the scream as a film student (he used it in a student film in 1974 called The Scarlet Blade,
borrowing it from another film’s audio track), Burtt decided to use it
as a kind of signature and to see if he could put it in as many films as
possible along with friend and fellow sound editor Richard Anderson.

Over the next few years they managed to put the sound into all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films and other George Lucas films like Howard the Duck and Willow and the TV series The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. Anderson went on to use it in several films including Poltergeist, Batman Returns and Planet of the Apes. Finding a place in the sound library at Skywalker Sound, colleagues of Burtt included it in Toy Story and Hercules. It
became something of an in-joke amongst the sound community who
appreciated it’s history and the opportunity to share it. Although it
has never been available commercially, sound editors would share it and
in a few cases where the effect was ‘in the clear’ (including A Star is Born) it has been ‘borrowed’ for use in other projects.

The scream soon became a favourite of
several directors also. Both Joe Dante and Tobe Hooper started using it.
Quentin Tarantino learned of it’s history when it was used for Reservoir Dogs and later used it for Kill Bill Vol1, and Peter Jackson used it for both The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The cult continued to grow and became
more widely known, thanks in part to sound technician and historian
Steve Lee who started to record the history of the scream, listing all
the films that it appeared in on his website www.hollywoodlostandfound.net.

Many
movie fans were curious to know who supplied the famous scream. In 2005
Ben Burtt was continuing his research between the last two Star Wars films and
came across documentation that listed the actors who had been hired to
record post-production sounds and lines of dialogue. After looking at
the names and listening to the voices it was decided that the most
likely candidate was Sheb Wooley, a musician and character actor who had
appeared in many Westerns, including High Noon and the TV show Rawhide. He was most famous however for the 1958 novelty hit Purple People Eater. He played an uncredited role in Distant Drums and
was one of the actors asked to record additional vocal elements for the
film. One of which was most likely to be the scream of a man attacked
by an alligator. Though this can’t be known for sure, as Wooley died in
2003 of Leukemia, his widow Linda Dotson-Wooley has confirmed that he
was very proud of his work performing laughs, screams and dying vocals
for films.

With the scream now out in the open,
several sound editors and directors lost interest in using the effect.
Ben Burtt decided that after completing Star Wars and joining
Pixar he would no longer use it and Joe Dante did the same believing it
wasn’t as much fun now everyone knew of it’s use and history. That
didn’t stop others using it though. It has since been heard in films as
diverse as King Kong, Juno, Over the Hedge, Kung Fu Panda, Tropic Thunder and Inglourious Basterds, on TV in shows like The Simpsons, The X-Files, Reaper and Family Guy and also in several computer games (including many of the Star Wars games). Skyline
is just one of the more recent films to use it and is unlikely to be
the last. It seems sound editors and film-makers will continue to pay
tribute to the most distinctive scream in cinema history.

Cars 2 characters: Lewis Hamilton & David Hobbscap

The Cars 2 character rollout continues with Lewis Hamilton and David Hobbscap, inspired and voiced by real life racers Lewis Hamilton and David Hobbs. HeyUGuys got the first look and official descriptions for both characters.

With his striking black paint job, Lewis Hamilton is one of the coolest Cars cars ever. David Hobbscap, on the other hand, is a quintessentially British driver turned commentator.

A group of long time gamers,
who are also fans of Star Wars ever since the big screen movie, has
recently launched a SWTOR Guide website. Star Wars: the Old Republic,
also commonly referred to as SWTOR in short, is a game by BioWare and
LucasArts that has a release date set for 2011. The game which is a
MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game) is developed
based on the popular Star Wars movie. The classes within the game, the
available races, abilities, economy as well as political alliances are
all derived from the original movie.

The website, SWTORGuide.net is
launched on the basis of providing information about the game to fans
and MMO gamers. Featured at the website are details about SWTOR, from
the background information of the game to mini-guides for all the eight
known classes, the factions as well as quest and leveling details.
Various game updates could also be found at the site such as the
coverage of the PAX weekend demo. A complete starship reference is among
the other content that is made available at the website. Besides
written content about the game such as articles and guides, screenshots,
gameplay trailers and other medias could also be found.

SWTOR is developed to include a variety of gaming elements that all come
together to create a unique personality for the game. Some features of
SWTOR include those such as the availability of crew skills, starships
to maneuver and a companion. All of this is derived from the original
movie. For instance, a good example for the concept of companion is of
'Chewy' who loyally follows 'Han Solo' wherever he goes. The two main
allegiance (also known as main factions) are, not surprisingly, the
Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Each of the allegiance offers
four classes each which are the Smuggler, Trooper, Jedi Consular and
Jedi Knight for the Republic. The Empire classes consist of the Sith
Inquisitor, Sith Warrior, Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter.

Complexity is the heart of the game with lots of feature to keep in mind
and balance against each other throughout. With that in mind, the team
at the SWTOR Guide website has made it a point to make details about the game available to fellow gamers early on.

He romanced Hollywood, was lauded as the "best actor
on the planet" by Steven Spielberg and has been sorely missed since his
death early this year. But one encounter just remembers him as a humble
man that was fond of a quiet pint...

"I'm not hard to interview, am I?"

It’s hard to believe he’s gone. But if Pete Postlethwaite’s absence
is going to take some getting used to, memories of the great man are
sure to linger
“I’m not hard to interview, am I?” smiles Pete Postlethwaite as he polishes off his second pint and his umpteenth anecdote.
The Oscar-nominated
actor is sat at the bar of the Australian Hotel, Sydney. By far the
most wonderful pub in the Rocks, the district located beneath the south
side of the Harbour Bridge, The Australian isn’t short on character. And
nor for that matter is Mr Postlethwaite. In town performing the
award-winning one-man play Scarmouche Jones, you could forgive the star
of In The Name Of The Father and The Usual Suspects for carrying on like
the great ac-tor. To see him in The Australian – chatting to the
attractive barmaid and ordering another brew from an English backpacker;
“You’re a long way from home, lad. Did you get lost?” – this is clearly
a man with no affectation.
He’s not that keen on being interviewed, mind. As keen to ask the
locals about the history of the hotel as he is to discuss the play, Pete Postlethwaite
seems more content to chat than examine his craft. This being only his
second trip Down Under, he’s wonderfully excited about being abroad. “I
woke up the other day and there it was, outside my hotel window – Sydney
Opera House. I know it’s a cliché but I had to pinch myself. I’ve spent
my life dreaming of coming here, and now I’ve arrived I can hardly
believe it.”

Ordering another brew from an English backpacker; “You’re
a long way from home, lad. Did you get lost?” – this is clearly a man
with no affectation.

Postlethwaite’s also pretty thrilled about working with an Australian
national treasure. For in between stage shows, he’s making Strange
Bedfellows, a comedy starring the one and only Paul Hogan. “Paul’s a
great bloke,” says our man, his eyes twinkling like the sapphire waters
of Farm Cove. “Before he was a star, he used to paint the Harbour
Bridge. Now you’ve got these tourists paying a fortune to walk over the
bridge and take in the view. Paul thinks he missed a right trick – he
did it thousands of time for free!”
And so the conversation meanders on. The laws of Australian Rules
Football, the similarities between Sydney and Cockney rhyming slang, the
superiority of Tasmanian beers over mainland brews – all of these are
touched on. And speaking of beer, my, how it flows.
Of course, I should have been asking him about the career. About his
terrifying breakthrough performance in Terence Davies’s Distant Voices,
Still Lives. About playing opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in In The Name Of
The Father. About whether he knows who Keyser Soze
is. But aside from asking him whether Steven Spielberg really believes
he’s the best actor on the planet, movie questions are all but absent
from our conversation. And as for his response, it says everything about
this amiable, embraceable man – “Yes, Steven was kind enough to say
that. Not that I got to flex my acting muscles hunting dinosaurs in The
Lost World”"
No, that day, talking to Pete Postlethwaite about his film career
didn’t seem important. And now he’s gone, it seems less important still.
For while Spielberg was quite right, there’s a danger in looking at
Postlethwaite’s acting roles for some indication of the man. In
Inception – his last major film – as in the last few months of his film,
Pete Postlethwaite was gaunt, bed-bound and waiting for God. For that
to be the nation’s final memory of the man would be a cruel insult.
Better to think of him sat at a bar on a beautiful day. Sure, it
might be sentimental, but hail fellow, well met was more a
characteristic of Pete Postlethwaite than ill health. And while his
colleagues might have visited Method hell to get a role down pat, a pint
was all Pete Postlethwaite needed to give a great performance.

The last episode of Season 3 of Clone Wars hides an Indy nod. Blink and you will miss it. Its near the end where you can see a crystal skull just like the one from the fourth Indy movie. Take a look...

ICONIC stars from TV and film including Britt Ekland and Star Wars legend Warwick Davis were out in force at Birmingham’s Spring Memorabilia show yesterday.
The two-day event attracted top showbiz names as well as thousands
of diehard sci-fi fans who flocked to the NEC to bag autographs and
photographs of their favourite celebrities.
Some even donned wacky costumes, with Imperial Stormtroopers,
Ghostbusters, Spiderman and even Harry Potter making an appearance.

Dwarf Warwick, who played Ewok Wicket in the third Star Wars movie,
revealed that he would be putting Jedi down as his religion when he
filled in his census form last night.
“I haven’t filled it in yet, but I will put Jedi in the religion
section,” he said. “Why not? It’s recognised as a religion now.”
Warwick has starred in a host of big-budget movies including the
Harry Potter films, Willow and The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy.

Next, he starts filming new comedy show Life is Too Short with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Marchant in a few weeks.
He plays a satirical version of himself and it will be screened on BBC2 towards the end of the year.
Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will have a cameo role in the series and other big names are also lined up to star.

“I basically play myself but with a much bigger ego,” said Warwick.
“I have wanted to work with Ricky for a while and I also starred in
Extras. When I told him of my idea he was really keen on it.
“He took the idea to the BBC and they loved it. I’m really excited about it, although comedy is one of the hardest genres to do.
“It’s great to have Johnny on board. There are others in it, too, but I’m not allowed to say who.”
Larger-than-life actor Brian Blessed was due to be at the event but pulled out after his wife was taken ill.

Elsewhere, the stars from wartime comedy ’Allo ’Allo! were reunited for the event.
Richard Gibson who played Herr Otto Flick, said it was great fun to be back together again.
“We always have a laugh when we are reunited,” he said.
The star added that he’d love Arnold Schwarznegger to play him if there was ever a remake of the series.
“He’d be great as Herr Flick. He’s got the accent. There was a Dutch
remake not long ago, which was good. But it would be interesting if
there was a new British version.”

t years dressed as the most famous furball in the galaxy but Peter
Mayhew has finally escaped the costume of Chewbacca from the Star Wars
films.
The 7ft2in actor became famous for playing the Wookiee in four
blockbuster Star Wars films, but he has just completed by far the most
enjoyable stint of his dream role - voicing a cartoon version for a
television spin-off.
The 66-year-old actor from London was drafted in to help bring Chewbacca
to life for the Star Wars animated series The Clone Wars.
As he only had to provide the voice, Peter swapped the heavy, hairy suit
for shorts and a t-shirt at creator George Lucas's studios in
California.
Peter admitted that while he never complained about wearing the
uncomfortable suit, it was a real joy to be able to complete his latest
version of the role without the shaggy uniform.
He said: "The original suit was heavy and warm and the trick was to get in and out of it as quickly as possible.
"It was made of yak hair and mohair, which was knitted together by some little old ladies.
"It was my job so I wouldn't complain but the shorter the time I spent in it, the better.
"When I came back for Revenge Of The Sith, it was an amazing new suit. It was water cooled and was relatively easy to wear.
"When they asked me to do the Clone Wars, it was great because I just
had to walk into the studio dressed as myself. I sat there with the
sound man and we recorded the growls in different ranges."

Former hospital porter Peter was recruited by director Lucas in the
mid-seventies because he needed someone tall to fill the part of Han
Solo's best friend and co-pilot for the original sci-fi trilogy.
Along with Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels
and Kenny Baker, Peter became part of the famous line-up that entered
pop culture history when the first film smashed box office records in
1977.
He then reprised his role in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The
Jedi, returning to his job at the Mayday Hospital in London between
films.
Since Return Of The Jedi, he has spent his career as a professional Star
Wars hero. He attends conventions and reprised his role for other
projects such as the 2005 prequel Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith.
Now he's back for the Clone Wars finale, which gets its first screening this Saturday on Sky Movies Premiere.
Peter got his big break as an actor just months after he made his screen debut as a minotaur in Sinbad And The Eye Of The Tiger.
Having now made a 34-year-career out of Star Wars, Peter said he felt honoured that George Lucas picked him in the first place.
"It was a real gift of a job and George makes you feel part of the Lucas family," said Peter.

"I love Chewie. He's the teddy bear, the best friend, the security
blanket, everything that a youngster needs to feel secure. It's
something I can always be proud of.
"When we finished Star Wars, there was a doubt whether the second film
would come out but it was a huge success and it was great to go back.
"The Empire Strikes back was a great time to wear the suit. We filmed
the Hoth scenes in Norway, so I was in the best costume when it was 20
below.
"When we filmed the Return Of The Jedi forest scenes in Oregon, I was
told I wasn't allowed to wander around in costume because we were right
in Bigfoot country.
"I was worried people would see me through the trees and aim at me.
Because I was scared of a shotgun going bang, bang, I heeded the warning."
Peter also revealed that on the Return Of The Jedi set, he was almost
surrounded by an army of wookiees, who were the original choice for the
furry natives that later became cuddly Ewoks.
He said: "The plan was they were all going to be wookiees but they
decided to go with the Ewoks for the kids' audience. I loved the Ewoks,
though, and in fact the guys who played them are among my closest
friends, including Warwick Davies and Kenny Baker, who also played R2D2.
"I met Kenny on the first day of filming Star Wars and we've been close
friends ever since. Kenny is 3ft8in and I'm 7ft2in, so work that out for
yourself. We get some looks."
Peter, who met wife Angie at a Star Wars event in Arizona, added: "I've
enjoyed working at conventions. It's not a bad job and I get to meet so
many people who are delighted to meet Chewbacca. That's a lovely thing.
"It was wonderful to be asked to come back for Revenge Of The Sith. It
was like going back to your old college as a visiting professor, seeing
all the younger actors looking up to people such as myself and Ian
McDiarmid, who played the Emperor.
"Then to be asked to do Clone Wars was fantastic. I hadn't seen much of
it before but I really like them and they are on a par with the original
movies in terms of quality."
When Peter originally brought Chewbacca to life, the distinctive Wookiee
growls were created by Star Wars sound editor Ben Burrt, who mixed bear
growls and dog barks with a bit of walrus and lion to bring the
character to life.
But after being asked to do the famous noises at conventions for almost
three decades, Peter had started practising and then at a fan event last
year, let rip to a delighted crowd, which included Clone Wars sound
editor Matthew Wood.
Peter said: "I was at a convention with Matt Wood and I'd always been very reluctant to do the voice.
"I just started larking around and Matt heard it so he and director Dave Filoni thought they could use it.
"They got me up to Skywalker ranch to see what we could do, and we got it sorted, hopefully it's pretty good.
"I think the fans are going to go absolutely crazy when they see the
episode. There's a scene when he makes his first appearance out of some
trees and growls, and it's just Chewie, the way you always remembered
him.

Last night at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater,
Paramount rounded up some journalists to show them clips from J.J.
Abrams' much buzzed about Steven Spielberg homage Super 8. (And also, teaser trailers for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Footloose,
both of which looked decent. The first had a nice dose of humor to
balance out Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Dubai, and the second looked
almost exactly like the original Footloose, but with legit
dirty dancing.) Abrams was there and he told the crowd, "I want this to
be a secret between you and me." While that's not why one shows clips to
a room full of entertainment writers, we appreciate Abrams' position:
He thinks Super 8 will be a better movie if it's not spoiled, even a little. Probably, he is not wrong! So, please, spoiler purists, Super 8 purists, J.J. Abrams purists, do not continue.
Just to say it again: Spoiler alert.
So, first, an overview, with hardly any spoilers, and then for the
obsessives, the nitty gritty. Paramount played about twenty minutes of
footage, including the entire monster-freeing train crash. As with the trailer,
the whole thing pretty much nails the vibe of the Spielberg alien
movies set in the late '70s. The soundtrack, the light, the attention to
period details (the kids in the movie communicate late at night with
walkie talkies), the just-teenage angst, the kids-against-the-world
vibe. Joel Courtney, the lead actor, with his big limpid eyes, even looks remarkably like E.T.'s Henry Thomas. Like the Spielberg movies, Super 8 seems as concerned with feelings as it does with aliens — it's as much a coming of age tale as a monster movie.
Only two quibbles: There's a gang of boys that all hang out and make movies together. In the grand spirit of the cliques in Stand By Me and The Goonies,
they joke around and throw stuff at each other and are just beginning
to talk about girls. They look great (not super hip, but gangly, with
braces, like real teenagers) and their dialogue isn't overly clever, but
it did feel a bit unnatural, the only part of the movie that was trying
a little bit too hard to be like something else. The other quibble,
which, given the "blow things up!" imperative of summer movies, some
will hardly think is a quibble: The explosion of the train goes on
nonsensically long, with so many cars flying through the air, it seems
like it must have been miles long even though it doesn't look it. (To be
fair, Abrams even said it was way too long when he was introducing the
clip.) The length is particularly noticeable because huge fireballs were
not a big part of the Spielberg movies Abrams is cribbing, and with
everything but this explosion, Abrams is all insinuation (you don't see
the monsters, you just see what they can do). It sort of feels like
Michael Bay hijacked some frames. But, all in all, if you are
tremendously excited about Super 8 keep on keeping on.
To the details: Those with lower spoiler thresholds are highly encouraged not to continue!
The movie is set right before summer vacation. The main character
Joe, is a 14-year-old boy whose mother has recently died in a mill
accident, and who doesn't have a great relationship with his father
(Kyle Chandler), the town sheriff. Joe makes movies with his four other
friends, under the direction of Charles, a chubby kid with a director's
complex. The boys all sneak out in the middle of the night to go to
shoot a zombie movie at the train depot, a place they can get to thanks
to Alice (Elle Fanning), a 14-year-old who goes to school with them.
She's agreed to appear in the movie, and has secretly borrowed her
father's yellow muscle car to drive them to the depot. Joe has a big,
moony-eyed crush on her. While they're rehearsing the movie, a train
starts to come down the track, and Charles, excited about the potential
production values, rushes everyone to film while the train is going by.
As the train passes, Joe spots a pickup truck driving onto the track,
and directly into the oncoming train. The train goes boom, the kids go
running, the camera, still filming, falls to the ground. After a massive
series of explosions seems to have finally stopped, the door flies off
one of the train cars, and Joe hears something slip out. The kids, who
have scattered, all find each other. There are hundreds of objects that,
in the words of a character, look like white Rubik's Cubes scattered
around, and Joe pockets one.
The kids see the pickup truck that drove into the train, all smashed
up, with a man sprawled over the steering wheel. It's their biology
teacher, Mr. Woodward (played by Mayor Royce).
They go to touch him, and out of his hand falls a map of the United
States, with the train's path and times written on it in red marker. Mr.
Woodward wakes up, takes out a gun, and says "They will kill you, do
not speak of this or you and your parents will die," and then brandishes
the gun until the kids run off, grab their equipment, and drive away.
Just then, a squadron of Air Force soldiers (led by Noah Emmerich) jogs
onto the scene, and finds the boxes their film came in. The kids agree
not to say anything, and Joe goes home to play with the white cube in
the bath.
As for what the alien looks like: who knows! There is one flash in a
later scene, of a gas station under attack, where you can maybe see the
reflection of a monster in a puddle. It's wispy and ghost-like, floating
above. The characters in the movie who actually lay eyes on this thing
are much more freaked out than they would be by a ghost, so we
can only assume when seen in something other than a puddle, it is much
more intimidating.

Hollywood star Johnny Depp is to guest star in Ricky Gervais's new sitcom, Life's Too Short, the British comedian has announced.

British Star Wars and Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis - who
has dwarfism - plays the ego-maniac head of a talent agency for other
little people.
The show has been described as a cross between US comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm and Gervais's previous show, Extras.
The series begins filming in May and will be shown on BBC Two.
Gervais has reportedly written six half-hour episodes so far for the series with writing partner Stephen Merchant.
Depp's casting may come as a surprise to some after Gervais
poked fun at the Alice in Wonderland star for his most recent film, The
Tourist, at the Golden Globes.
While hosting the ceremony, the comic said: "It was a big
year for 3D movies. Toy Story, Despicable Me, Tron... seems like
everything was three-dimensional except the characters in The Tourist.
After the ceremony Gervais defended his jokes, saying he
believed the people he made fun of had a sense of humour and so would
not be offended.

Disney
shareholders have re-elected Steve Jobs to the company's board of
directors despite an advisory firm's concerns about his poor health. The
Apple chief—who owns more than 7% of Disney stock and has been on the
board since Disney acquired Pixar in 2006—missed nearly three-quarters
of board meetings last year. He was also absent from yesterday's
shareholder meeting, during which the other 12 board members were also
re-elected, notes the Hollywood Reporter.

Karen Allen stars in the indie film White Irish Drinkers, opening Friday, March 25th. The actress is perhaps best known for playing Indiana Jones' love interest Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark and, more recently, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which also starred Shia LaBeouf as her son with Indy. Will we ever see her in another Indiana Jones film? Allen is open to the idea. "I would adore to do another one," she says. "I would be so interested to see where they take a story if we moved forward with Shia being introduced into the story now as our son, and Indy and Marion being married and where do you go from there."
Allen's credits also include Animal House, but don't expect a sequel to the classic 1978 comedy. She says, "Our joke now whenever we get together as a group is that we're going to make a film called Animal Home, where all of us end up in an old age home together."

Websites and individuals offering beta keys and test accounts are
popping up all over the Internet, and according to the developer,
they're all fake or unauthorized.

Posting on the official SWTOR forum,
community coordinator Allison Berryman said the only way to gain early
access to the upcoming MMORPG's Game Testing Program is through BioWare
and the Star Wars: The Old Republic website. Everything else is a scam
or an unauthorized account swap that will quickly lead to a perma ban.

"We must caution you that these offers are often scams designed to steal
your money, credit card information, or identity," Berryman stated.
"While we understand that you are eager to participate in Game Testing,
your security is extremely important, and attempting to participate in
these offers could put you in very real danger."

To be considered for Game Testing, register at SWTOR.com and sign up here.
BioWare sends email invitations to anyone accepted from
"no-reply@bioware.swtor.com." Any other emails offering beta keys or
invitations are scams, Berryman warned.

If you've received an unsolicited email or other SWTOR beta pitch,
BioWare requests you forward all relevant information to

EA and Bioware have poured hundreds of millions into a game that will attempt to dethrone the grizzled veteran World of Warcraft
as MMO champion. There are 12 million MMO players out there today, with
over half being WoW devotees. Their market share is unprecedented, and
many titles have tried, and failed, to slay it before.
But what’s the only property that might have a shot? Star Wars, and EA hopes that fan interest in a wide open, well-scripted world in the Star Wars universe will propel it to success.
With news that 1.5 million players have signed up for the beta of the
game, it’s an early indicator of the massive following even the
potential of the title has amassed already.
“It’s a great indicator in the interest level in the franchise,” EA CFO Eric Brown said at a Lazard Capital Markets Technology & Media Day presentation.
”For us it’s about creating the right experience for expanding from
tier 1 and the tier 2 users to getting people who have never played an
MMO before, but are interested in Star Wars, to engage and give it a try.”
It certainly is a tempting prospect, and he’s right, someone like
myself who has never set foot in Azeroth would be interested in a more
accessible universe based around Star Wars. Who from my generation hasn’t wanted to create their own destiny as a Jedi Knight, Bounty Hunter or Sith Lord?
EA’s partner in developing the game, Bioware, also happens to be an
incredible company who has previously produced the classic Star Wars
title Knights of the Old Republic, which many would say was better than the entire new film trilogy, and also the Mass Effect series, which has been called the Star Wars of video games.
If anyone ever had a shot of dethroning Activision/Blizzard and their behemoth WoW, it would be EA, Bioware and SWTOR. But will the game live up to the massive expectations? I suppose I’d better sign up for the beta and find out.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are experiencing a Spielbergian moment in
their careers. Their new movie, “Paul,” an alien road comedy, is a love
letter to Steven Spielberg films like “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” But the two British comedians also got a chance to watch Spielberg work up close as actors in the director’s upcoming film “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.”
On Sunday morning, hours before the premiere of “Paul” at the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival,
Pegg and Frost talked about the unusual work environment on the
“Tintin” set, which relied on much of the same performance-capture
technology that James Cameron used on “Avatar.”
“Steven, he did a lot of his own camera work,” Frost said. “He’d get a
movement he really liked, punch the air and do a little dance. It’s
intoxicating. You want to perform for him. You want to be around that kind of enthusiasm.”
Spielberg first enlisted Pegg and Frost when Pegg was meeting with
him about a writing job. Instead of the writing gig, Spielberg asked the
pair to play Thompson and Thomson– two bumbling detectives from the classic comic series by Belgian artist Hergé.
On the set, they were among the first to see Spielberg — who had never
even shot in digital on a film – as he learned to use new technology.
“It was like he had a new train set,” Pegg said.”There was a genuine sense of novelty to him.”

"Tintin" (Paramount)

Often Peter Jackson, who is producing the film,
watched from a monitor in New Zealand. “Peter would do a bunch of
rewrites at night while we were asleep,” Frost said, “and then we’d come
in in the morning and be given the script.”
Pegg and Frost wore performance capture suits on the set, where a
bunch of gray-painted chicken-wire would stand in for a setting like a
marketplace.
“It was like rehearsing a play, like when you’re a kid and you’re pretending that thing over there could be the Millennium Falcon,” Frost said. “You have to concentrate. Peter Jackson is on the monitor, Kathy Kennedy is there producing. Daniel Craig — who looks amazing in a motion capture suit, by the way — is there. It’s like a big idiot’s dream.”
Pegg and Frost were visiting the set on one of their off days when
they showed Spielberg a photo they had taken on a road trip to prepare
for “Paul.” The photo–of an alien bust next to Devil’s Tower, the
distinctively shaped Wyoming mountain that Spielberg used in “Close
Encounters” — outed them to the director as Spielberg diehards.
“He very casually said, ‘Well, maybe I can be in it?’” said Frost.
“We looked at one another and made a weird fangirl squee and then ran
home and wrote him a cameo straight away.”

Filming on the two Hobbit
movies has begun following months of delays caused by funding problems,
a row over actors' wages and surgery for its director.

Filming is taking place at Stone Street Studios, Wellington, and on location around New Zealand.
Production on the films, starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo
Baggins, is expected to take up to two years. The first is due out in
late 2012.
In January, director Peter Jackson had surgery for a perforated ulcer.
Studios Warner Bros and New Line had previously considered
taking the production away from New Zealand after acting unions
threatened to boycott the films in protest over payments.
The films had earlier been stalled by problems including rows
over distribution rights and the exit of original director Guillermo
del Toro.
The film, which also stars Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf the
Grey, Andy Serkis as Gollum, Elijah Wood as Frodo and Cate Blanchett as
Galadriel, is based on JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy novel.
The Hobbit films act as a prequel to Jackson's trilogy of films based on Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

A giant great white shark will feast on human flesh at Maraetai Beach tomorrow night.
On screen that is, on the wharf.
The 1975 classic shark flick Jaws will beam across the dark sea
surface to 100 keen rubber-clad characters bobbing about on flimsy
flotation devices, "like burley in the ocean".
That's how Tom Darlow and Beth O'Brien pitch their plan on the
Smirnoff Night Project Facebook page. The vodka brand set a challenge
last year to think up "truly different, extraordinary, event ideas" and
they would help bring the best four to life and screen them on
television.
The Auckland advertising agency interns came up with the idea of
turning films into a total immersion experience. If people watch horror
films to be frightened, they figured, why not turn the scare dial up.
Two of the projects have already run. The Zombie Apocalypse invaded
Wellington on February 19 and the Gig in the Middle of Nowhere was last
weekend.
The Paint the Town White party experiment is to come on March 19.
Harbourmaster John Lee-Richards has re-served a 40m by 20m patch of ocean off Maraetai Wharf for the 8.30pm event.
The TV series is due to air on FOUR in April.

Imagine if Monkey Island was release on the good old Spectrum? The result would be an engrossing text adventure. Ahhhh the good old days.

Monkey Island Adventure is what happens when someone has the bright idea of using the GAC to bring Monkey Island to the ZX Spectrum.Originally coded in 1999 but remained
unfinished. Unearthed and demo version finished off. Full game in
pre-production with target release date of November 2011.

A funny thing happened to Oklahoma breeders Larry and Nelda Kettles
after their appropriately named broodmare Time for a Makeover delivered a
colt by Indy Thunder on February 18. Hollywood came calling.
The dark bay or brown foal fit the part for a role in Steven
Spielberg’s theatrical adaptation of the novel and London play “War
Horse.” Spielberg is directing the film, currently in production in
Ventura, California.
The Kettles stand Indy Thunder at their C K Thoroughbreds in Guthrie,
and they have an Oklahoma connection to Robin Pettigrew, who is part of
the casting process.
“She said they had to have a bay foal, and I just happened to have
foaled out a bay foal, so he’s going to be a movie star, hopefully,”
Nelda Kettles said with a laugh. “He was about ten days to two weeks old
when they picked him up. The baby was big and strong and no problems,
so he’s in California now.”
Larry Kettles said the foal will be involved in five days of filming.
“I’m in nowhere Oklahoma, and of course, I’m not from Oklahoma, so I
can say that,” Kettles said. “We’re about 35 miles due North of Oklahoma
City. We are one of the top ten breeders of Thoroughbreds in Oklahoma,
and one of our stallions is number five on the list of [progeny
earnings]. But to get a call from a friend of a friend, somebody calling
that said, ‘We understand you have a two-week old baby that’s dark bay,
would you lease it to be in a movie?’
“I thought it was a joke, because I’m the world’s greatest practical
joker. I said, ‘Yeah, in a rat’s [butt].’ Those were my exact words.
Then I found out it’s for real. I still wonder why, with how many bay
babies there must be in the state of California, but I guess it was one
of those things if you know someone who knows someone.”
Kettles said the production company provided insurance, van transportation, and a lease agreement.
“I just told the lady that we worked with that if they’d like to buy
the mare and that baby, they wouldn’t have to ship them back,” he said
with a laugh.
Spielberg, of course, has experience with Thoroughbreds from the
“Seabiscuit” movie, which his DreamWorks co-produced. That experience
prompted Spielberg and several other producers from the film to buy a
minor share in Atswhatimtalknbout, who finished fourth in the 2003
Kentucky Derby (G1).
Following is the official synopsis from DreamWorks of “War Horse,” which is scheduled to be released on December 28:
“Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the
First World War, ‘War Horse’ begins with the remarkable friendship
between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and
trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the
extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing
and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German
soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story
reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.”

The new Star Wars MMO could help grow the industry, says Blizzard's co-founder.
Blizzard, the studio behind the immensely popular World of Warcraft, doesn't appear to be worried about the release of a high-profile rival like Star Wars: The Old Republic on the horizon; quite the opposite, in fact, as Blizzard's top brass seems to be rather hoping that the game does well.
Frank Pearce, Blizzard's executive vice president and co-founder, said that if handled properly, the release of The Old Republic
could help grow the MMO market, and that was a good thing for the whole
industry, not just publisher EA and LucasArts. Blizzard CEO Mike
Morhaime added that Star Wars was a strong brand and that BioWare was a great developer. He felt that The Old Republic would result in a lot more people checking out MMOs, and hoped that their experiences with TOR - and by extension, the whole genre - would be positive.
Obviously there are also things that the pair aren't saying - there
must have been some discussion at Blizzard about the potential negative
effects that the launch of TOR will have on WoW - but it seems that they've decided to focus on the positives instead, at least in interviews, anyway.Star Wars: The Old Republic is scheduled for release in the second quarter of this year.

team of talented artists is a great honor. With my recent experience in 3D, I’m
excited about Kerner’s new, state-of-the-art 3D camera rigs. I look forward
to building on Kerner’s rich past and fostering new and creative partnerships
thoughout the film industry.”
